Why were they the last experimental band to top the pop charts?

not that user but leave it to an experimentalfag to aspie out and reply seriously to a troll that’s agreeing with you

Not an argument.

I mean, have their self titled album literally was a blend of noise and psychedelic pop, definitely sounds like something brian eno would make

I'm not asking how they are versatile, I'm asking how are they experimental.

Unless your answer is
>because the Guardian said so!! XD XD

where did I say it was, didactic aspie? All the shortcomings of an assburger but none of the benefits it seems

because people confuse experimental with sounding bad

Goodbye, user

was anyone else doing psych noise at the time? No, animal collective was considered an experimental band at the time and they ditched the psych noise and were doing their dumbass standard psych shit. MGMT unironically brought back the psych noise movement, pushed it to a level that they were able to essentially make baroque pop but instead of strings, they used noise. If it weren't for MGMT, shit like year of the snitch wouldnt exist, bitch.

not an argument ;^)

>was anyone else doing psych noise at the time?
I guess you've never heard of the Flaming Lips, Spacemen 3, Mercury Rev, any of the Elephant 6 bands...

I don't think you understand what experimental means.

>releases an unmarketable pysch album on your major label
Nothing personal suits

All of those bands peaked before MGMT's self titled album retard. i dont think you know what "at the time" means lmfao, your dumbass boomer psych albums. Post 2010 flaming lips isn't worth listening to.
>spacemen 3
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>peaked before MGMT's self titled album retard
How is that relevant?
>"at the time"
If they were doing something that has already been done ten years earlier, how is that cutting edge/"experimental"?
>Post 2010 flaming lips isn't worth listening to
Why not?
>LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What's the problem?

and it tanked. their self-titled was a commercial failure, and isn't even that experimental. when mgmt topped the charts they were making straight ahead pop.

If they aren’t, then who are the last experimental band to top the pop charts?

in the us? i don't know
can had a top 10 hit in germany.

Well to be fair, I didn't say that they topped the charts with their experimental songs, just that they were an experimental band that just so happened to top the charts.

You just don't know what experiential means

And the velvet underground was doing it 2 decades before lmao

You're right, but I know what experimental means.

Yes?
Then why did you think MGMT was an experimental band?

The Beatles duh

Because MGMT was pushing genre boundaries with their self titled album, doing things that were never done before. Spacemen 3 was just diet velvet underground mixed with duster lmao they werent experimental at all. Flaming lips were even more poppy than peak MGMT. Have fucking sex incel holy shit lol

>pushing genre boundaries
See

>Flaming lips were even more poppy than peak MGMT
Like this?

>his definition comes from Wikipedia
topkek You don't know what it means do you?

>no Selly-Ester Watts field
What are you doing user?

Well judging from the song that you posted, I'd assume that your definition is
"garbled crap that makes autists feel smart"

Recommend me more songs like this lads

Oh when did I say that was experimental?

Listen, you can just admit you don't know wtf you are talking about. No shame.

>

I get you are a MGMT fanboy, it's ok to like them, you can dig them without trying to convince yourself and others they are this experimental avant-garde outfit, not every good band must push the envelope bro. Their first album was literally a mock up mix of the hipster trends of the time. They're great tunes for sure, but they weren't doing anything new.

>Thread about experimental music
>Posts stuff that isn't experimental
Avant garde =/= experimental retard

>>Posts stuff that isn't experimental
Oh did you not read the reply chain?

>Spacemen 3 was Velvet Underground mixed with a band that formed several years after they disbanded
Terrible troll
